Here’s what reviewers are saying about Statements After an Arrest Under the Immorality Act by legendary South African playwright Athol Fugard now onstage at convergence-continuum, directed by Terrence Spivey and featuring actors Jill Kenderes, Corin Self and Soren Russell.

“emotions are raw, palpable and the stuff that keeps the audience engaged "  “lays bare the characters’ souls”  –Bob Abelman, Cleveland Jewish News

“You’d be hard-pressed to find a more hard-hitting drama.”  “a perfect fit for the folks at Convergence-Continuum.” –Roman Macharoni, Scene

Read the full Scene and CJN reviews.   

Set in apartheid South Africa, where relationships across the color bar were a criminal offence, two lovers - a black man and white woman - meet secretly in the library where she works to make love and share their hopes and fears. A neighbor reports them to the police who then secretly photograph them, break in, and arrest the couple under the heartless Immorality Act then in effect.
